60. Except for the privileged few...

Think about this: None of Mitt Romneys five sons will ever have to work a day in their lives. For some reason I feel like that's not fair. They shouldn't be deprived of the "dignity of work", aka having to rent yourself out by the hour to get money for food and water. Or to pay what you owe the hospital from the last time you got sick. As far as I can tell most people are a modern form or serfs or slaves, while the priveleged few like the Romneys are modern aristocrats.
